Welltalk: Anxiety Management: From Stress to Ease

When we are highly stressed, our minds are often racing and reactive. We are in fight or flight mode, and accessing the sympathetic nervous system. We do not tend to think as clearly and we do not see the bigger picture. Instead, we react and build up stress-based stories in our minds. To help us break this cycle, we need to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which naturally inspires relaxation and calm, clear thinking.

In this experiential talk, we will explore ways to move from stress to ease through the combination of simple breathing techniques with physical tension release and grounding. These techniques work together to calm and relax the body, mind, and spirit. By doing so, we shift our perspectives and can look at things through a different lens. We see possibilities and solutions we may not have seen before and can be more productive.

The beauty of these tools is that they are simple to use and can be applied at any time.
